Activity and cellular distribution of ORF3a mutants of SARS-CoV-2 variants of concern. [PDF]
Infection with SARS-CoV-2 continues to be a threat to human health. Despite successful immunization campaigns, effective treatment of COVID-19 remains an essential need to help patients and prevent the spread of new virus strains. Viroporins are intracellular ion channels that are essential for virus replication and release, thus presenting promising ...

Image2_A novel diG motif in ORF3a protein of SARS-Cov-2 for intracellular transport.TIF
The ongoing SARS-CoV-2/COVID-19 pandemic caused a global public health crisis. Yet, everyone’s response to SARS-CoV-2 infection varies, and different viral variants confer diverse pathogenicity. Thus, it is imperative to understand how viral determinants

A putative new SARS-CoV protein, 3a*, encoded in an ORF overlapping ORF3a [PDF]
ABSTRACT Identification of the full complement of genes in SARS-CoV-2 is a crucial step towards gaining a fuller understanding of its molecular biology. However, short and/or overlapping genes can be difficult to detect using conventional computational approaches, whereas high throughput experimental approaches – such

Tetherin antagonism by SARS‐CoV‐2 ORF3a and spike protein enhances virus release
Abstract The antiviral restriction factor, tetherin, blocks the release of several different families of enveloped viruses, including the Coronaviridae. Tetherin is an interferon‐induced protein that forms parallel homodimers between the host cell and viral particles, linking viruses to the surface of infected cells and inhibiting ...

SARS-CoV-2 and ORF3a: Nonsynonymous Mutations, Functional Domains, and Viral Pathogenesis
At the surge of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, we detected and identified six functional domains (I to VI) in the SARS-CoV-2 3a protein. Our analysis showed that the functional domains were linked to virulence, infectivity, ion channel formation, and virus release in SARS-CoV-2 3a. Our study also revealed the functional importance of

Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus Orf3a protein interacts with caveolin
Theorf3a(also called X1 or U274) gene is the largest unique open reading frame in the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus genome and has been proposed to encode a protein with three transmembrane domains and a large cytoplasmic domain. Recent work has suggested that the 3a protein may play a structural role in the viral life cycle, although ...

The ORF3a protein from SARS-CoV has functions in terms of ion channel activity, modulates the trafficking properties of SARS-CoV spike (S) protein, increases fibrinogen expression in pulmonary epithelial cells, and induces apoptosis.
